195x5 PR… this one I can almost taste.[/quote]
I’m 105 for 3 too but I feel close for that. I think I could get it next month but I want to go slow make sure my form is good. So I’ll be testing 115 end of March I think.
You should not have knee pain deadlifting! If you are, it probably means you are lowering the weight to the ground very slowly and controlled. That’s not right! On the way down, once it gets to your knees, you have to let that shit crash. You will never see someone deadlifting heavy who does it otherwise.
Jogging is much harder on the knees than a proper DL. If you can run you can deadlift!
Sorry to derail the thread I just want everyone to deadlift and be happy.
I’m in for the 225lb deadlift, but I wont be conventional DLing for the next four months. I’m doing a BBing program until then and switching to 5-3-1 after I’ve put a little muscle on. Until then, rack pulls and straight-legged DLs.
Speaking of which, let’s do another race: 300lb rack pull for reps. I have a feeling this one will happen for me within the next 3 months.
Edit: I’m so used to thinking in numbers. This is plates. I guess 315lb rack pull it is.

I think it was the squat that caused the problem actually, just waiting for the knee pain to not be there when I dl, I will be trying next week. Things are way better since dropping the lowerbody lifts and doing buildup sprints and then running.
There is NO pain during the running or sprinting(build up sprinting not from a dead stop).
When I stopped the lowerbody lifting sitting down on the toilet, getting off the toilet, pushing my foot in my boot. Hurt my knee. I just needed to stop for a while. Bent knee + pressure = pain.
So that’s squat and dl and dead stop sprinting, hills, stairs(up and down). Front of the knee pain right knee only(the good knee).
Will give the dropping the weight thing a try when I add dls in again.
I was rdling the weight down on my dls not sure if that makes a difference or not, I can’t remember where I read that as a recommendation when dling.
